Biomass-derived activated carbon with simultaneously enhanced CO2 uptake for both pre and post combustion capture applications

We report on the synthesis and CO2 uptake capabilities of a series of activated carbons derived from biomass raw materials, Jujun grass and Camellia japonica. The carbons were prepared via hydrothermal carbonization of the raw materials, which yielded hydrochars that were activated with KOH at tempe...
